Powdercoat them. I painted my rears on my fox and damn do they look like shit up close. That's that I'm good with a aerosol can.

Yeah maybe the gun helped you. The can looks like shit, well to me. Other people don't notice it like I do. They only notice my rears are red and the fronts are unpainted.

2k clear in the can also make them look pretty good

How did you prep calipers before painting? Wire wheel and brake cleaner? I am sure good prep is the secret.
